When they're good they're very, very good, but when they're bad, Shaun Goater's Manchester City are truly awful.

City's unbeaten home record did not come to an end so much as it was obliterated, Wimbledon leaving Maine Road with a 4-0 victory on Saturday.

Goater, who had scored 12 goals in 10 games prior to the weekend, was guilty of an early miss when he failed to connect to a Richard Dunne cross and that set the tone for the match.

Neither he, nor strike partner Darren Huckerby, in for the injured Paulo Wanchope, had any further opportunities - all the action coming down the other end where David Connolly and Neil Shipperley both hit a pair.

"We looked like a team that thought `here we go, we are at home, it is Wimbledon and they won't expect to get anything'," said boss Kevin Keegan. "We just looked like a team waiting for something to happen. It did, but not how we thought. We will have to learn from it."

Wanchope is expected to be out for six weeks after being pencilled in for a cartilage operation.

Kyle Lightbourne's Macclesfield Town reaffirmed their title of draw specialists, their Third Division match at Exeter ending goalless.
